Congratulations to all who played in the Easter term concert, especially to Lottie, who played the Vivaldi so beautifully. We had a sizeable and appreciative audience in lovely surroundings (photos here). Special thanks to the windy weather for making things a little difficult.
Our soloists and conductors for 2008/09 have been selected, and are as follows:
Conductors: Louisa Denby and James Henshaw (with Nik and Emily staying on).
Soloists: Simon Cooper (cello), Rowan Bell (violin), Sunil Manohar (piano), Kelvin Chan (piano) and Nik Myers (in an exciting self-directed bassoon concerto).
Welcome to the newcomers!
At the same time, we farewell Carlos and Sam (thanks for your involvement with UCPO) as well as Pedro (again!). All the best to you all.
See everyone else in October, unless we see you at a summer social function first!

Once again, we have a new committee - welcome to those newcomers, and welcome back to those who love the committee too much to leave it (yet). Details are now on the committee page.
Both UCPO concerts are approaching with lightning speed - the Baby concert is at 7.30pm on Saturday 1 March at St Edward King and Martyr Church, Peas Hill - and the Main concert is at 8pm on Saturday 8 March at Trinity College Chapel. Please invite as many people as you can - they should both be great concerts.
UCPO is a fun, friendly student-run orchestra that welcomes players of all abilities.
There are no auditions, regular pub trips, and every so often garden parties and annual dinners.
We hold a concert once a term and aim to present classical music in a fun and unpretentious way.
If you're interested in joining, whether you're new to Cambridge or not, please check out the how to join page for more information. We welcome non-university members as well as undergrads, grads and staff - email the committee if you want to know more.
hits so far...
